Panacea Prola Butterfly
$16.00
From the Netherlands’ taxidermy and entomology hub, de Museum Winkel, comes a stunning array of stuffed butterflies—including this bright blue Panacea prola. Originating in Peru, this insect, known also as the red flasher or Prola beauty, stretches four centimeters in length. It’s quite delicate and, of course, no two will be exactly the same. Importantly, all animals come from zoos or farms where they died of natural causes. (Price is in Euros.)
